Title
Tools for planning and designing data communications networks
Abstract
The planning, design, and management of a large telecommunications network is a complex process involving many aspects of the network's cost and performance. Throughput capability, reliability, response time performance, and cost must all be considered in evaluating alternatives. For a large network, obtaining an accurate analysis of any one of these aspects is a formidable task involving cumbersome calculation and many decisions. The problem of obtaining an accurate analysis of the entire system is magnified by the fact that these individual factors interact strongly with one another. Thus, in order to design a "good" network, or verify that an existing network is operating properly, one must not only be able to solve each of the above problems, but also be able to evaluate the solution of each one in the context of solutions to the others.
